As you know that in literacy we’ve been learning a lot about advanced writing. Our teacher taught us how to write an essay, write a response using evidence and using quote sandwich. She had picked a play for us to read, and it called Pygmalion, My Fair Lady. So after we finish the play our teacher told us to do anything that talking about the play. Some people were making games, some were making animation and some were making a poster. So I decide to do something that difference then them and it was poetry. So I decide to write a poetry that talking about how the main character (Eliza) characteristics change. One of my challenge to write this poem is the rhyme words because I want to write my poem in Khmer style and Khmer poem style is require lots and lots of rhyme words, so I need to find a lot of rhyme word that match with the sentence. So here I my beautiful Khmer style poem.
Living on earth we need rights
You have to fight for your choice
Find freedom should not avoid
Express your voice to the world.
Eliza was a poor girl
Who’s just like pearl not yet shine
Who needs others to be kind
So she feels fine moving on.
She needs support and comfort
Like baby bird that’s missing
It’s own Mama that could bring
Them love and things for their lives.
Now Eliza is different
She’s determined for her life
Eliza solves her own strife
Living free life with merriment.
She’s brave to talk to others
And she never talks poorly
Cause she’d been taught as a lady
To live freely and independent.
